Acquiring, selling, or funding a company is a business in itself.
As an entrepreneur, there comes a time when you think about selling your business or about taking over another company. Or you need to decide on the best asset structure for your company. At that point, it is important to realise that such a process is very different to the day-to-day running of your company. It is a business in itself.
Looking to sell your company, interested in acquiring a company or looking for funding? Choose one of the options below for an introduction.

Selling a company – Getting started
As an entrepreneur, every day you work on growing your business, on your position in the market and on continuity. There will certainly be moments when you pause to consider the possibility of selling the company, but that is not the kind of decision to take on an impulse. However clichéd it might sound; it is your life’s work. The sale should be diligently handled and your company transferred to the right hands, which is an undertaking on its own.
Our bread and butter
You find yourself in an unfamiliar place, where everybody wants something from you. In the middle of all that, how do you make the right judgements for yourself and for your business? How do you maintain control of your future? And what if the situation changes over the course of the process? How will you deal with that? It may not be ‘business as usual’ for you, but for Hogenhouck it is our bread and butter.
